Market implications
If coronavirus cases continue to rise in Germany, we could see the European markets turn risk-averse at the start of the week. The EUR/USD pair fell sharply on Friday and closed the week below 1.1800 in the negative territory to snap an eight-week winning streak. The shared currency could continue to weaken against the greenback if flight-to-safety starts to dominate the markets.
